very whimsical!!  My blood was boiling at one point and at the end I was laughing!  NOT because the crows are funny by any means!  Good read Kabu!

Great lead-up, Kabu! I was getting ready to hire some snipers and run over there to save you guys, LOL! The crows are huge around here too...and noisy.

Yeah, but they're sooo smart! Almost as clever as ravens, and they're geniuses...

No doubt about it. Crows are the SMARTEST species of bird, in the world!

I think actually you're just crowing about our estate.Caw, caw, caw, caw, Crow talk for I love you. Now you'll feel differently about them.

I've observed that side of them...
But they're interesting, too. I've thought for years they know people apart, who lives there, who walks where, etc. Saw a science program on Channel 9 months ago about a study in London (?) where these scientists put on masks, one was ordinary, the other was aggressive toward the crows. The weird part: when the young crows hatched, they, too, knew which ones were the "bad" guys. They'd warn their mates when he came -- and if they traded masks, they'd code on the bad mask. They have language. Very smart for birds.

I have had a totally  different experience with them on the flip side, as friends that follow me around and talk around me, but appreciate your point of view with their dark side, which I have been spared, am happy to say.  There are probably things you could do to discourage them, but I don't know what they are.  I could picture them threatening the smaller birds and animals.
